Expertise

I can answer questions regarding digital advertising operations as it relates to media planning and strategy, product development, campaign optimization, operations management, business development and site monetization.

PublicationsUnfortunately (or fortunately, depends how we want to look at it), online media is more dynamic, faster and much easier to share and disburse content which makes it extremely difficult to track. That said, my writing has appeared on countless properties across the web and I wouldn't be surprised if some of those transitioned over to print media.

Education/CredentialsAs with almost everyone I've ever met, I studied one thing and ended up going in another direction. I studied Accounting / Finance and Business Administration at the ZICKLIN SCHOOL of BUSINESS at BARUCH COLLEGE in New York City. I also studied Spanish Policy, Past, Present and Future in Madrid [SPAIN] at the UNIVERSIDAD ANTONIO de NEBRIJA.
Although I didn't think so at first, my background / knowledge in finance and economics coupled with my ability to adapt and thrive in a diverse environment played an integral part in helping me stand out from the crowd in the competitive interactive advertising industry.

Awards and HonorsI've written no books, entered any competitions or requested any invites to speak at industry events. Quite honestly, I like more personal and specific interactions (hence me offering advice and help through this venue).
In my opinion, although we may share some similarities, our problems are usually unique to us. Yes, we both may have business concerns, but mine are not the same as yours (or his, or his, or hers) so how can our solution be?
